The lyrics "Mop the floor, hide the wet sign just to catch him slippin'" received the most attention.[3]

Composition[]

In the song, Blueface expresses loyalty to the Crips gang and demands respect for his gang affiliation.[2] The instrumental was produced by Laudiano and contains an "excessively vibrant, fluid thing with a sticky bass drum".[4]
